Kid-friendly vacation rentals in San Juan Islands

I can't say enough good things about this house. It is such a special spot. From the minute we walked in we felt right at home. What stunning surroundings. The location is so quiet you can hear all of nature around you. We saw river otters and seals from the awesome deck, so many varieties of birds and critters. Seriously do yourself a favor and visit this place. I'm already planning our return and I got home yesterday.

We’ve stayed at many airbnbs and this is the best one in terms of the hosts warmth, consideration and responsiveness. We felt at home right away! There were so many thoughtful touches in the home down to last details. We had a welcome note waiting for us on arrival and eggs from Eric’s farm. It’s also a very beautifully designed home. There are skylights in the bedroom so when we woke up felt like we were in the forest. There were many birds chirping outside in the morning even spotted a wood pecker. Also Eric has two adorable dogs that came to welcome us when we got there. My daughter used some of the guide books to plan our hikes- all in all it was an amazing stay. Anything we could possibly need for our stay was in the house including an amazing shower after hikes, binoculars and hiking poles. It was so beautiful we never wanted to leave!!

Beautiful location, very quite and serene. Really nice walk along the beach, lot wild life. House is very nicely decorated and super comfortable. The outdoor space is also great. The house has everything you need and Omar is a great host, flexible and responsive. Definitely recommend.

We decided to splurge on an extra nice Airbnb for a local family getaway and staying in Marie’s place was a wonderful treat. Everything is so nicely arranged and Marie is a very friendly and helpful host! I really couldn’t recommend this place any higher! It’s a short drive to Birch Bay restaurants and shops, but honestly the place is so nice you won’t want to leave! The huge windows and deck let you enjoy the beauty of the water throughout your stay whether you’re in the hot tub, enjoying the fire pit or sitting inside watching a video on the big screen. The huge shower was a special treat too! :) Thank you, Marie, for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Amazing stay with family. Everyone including the kids had a wonderful time. We had great weather in May and got to take advantage of the beach and kayaks several times. Nearby golf and tennis was great, two guest played 9 holes and a bunch of us played pickleball. Everyone was sad to leave and we all said we would love to come back. Such an amazing property in a beautiful corner of the world. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Molly was great and the house is beautiful with an unbelievable view. Would recommend to anyone

A beautiful cottage by the sea, with great styling and all the amenities you could ask for, all cleverly hidden away. We opened the door to a beautiful living room, perfect for late night movies, a bottle of wine in the kitchen with any appliance we needed, a spacious shower, and a bedroom with a view right into the water. The hot tub and fireplace were right outside, and the sound of the ocean crashing while relaxing couldn’t be beat. Even though we live just a few minutes up the road, we would consider doing another visit just because of how beautiful the place was and how amazing they were to work with!

Had the best Mother’s Day weekend retreat with my family at Todd and Lori’s beautiful house. We had so much fun through the weekend because there was so many things to do close by! Would definitely come back here again, thank you Todd and Lori for being so accommodating and welcoming throughout our stay :)

Hannah and Pat are wonderful hosts. They immediately made us feel at home with their warm and welcoming hospitality. Their property is beautiful and full of fruit trees, vegetable gardens, flowers, birds, and a pretty fish pond. Our space was very comfortable and accommodating, and the spacious bathroom with the heated floor was quite nice. We would definitely recommend a stay at Hannah's.

I had a wonderful stay here. Ginny and Gary were so warm and welcoming, they checked in to see if I needed anything and made sure I felt completely at home. After long days of climbing, it was the perfect place to come back to just as described, if not even better! The surroundings are stunning, and the place has absolutely everything you could want. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped home base. I will definitely be back!

Beautiful location, great accommodations, and great host. We had a great time and loved every minute.

Linda and Jay's place was outstanding! The special touches and attention to detail made us feel right at home. It's obvious that Linda and Jay put alot of care into making their place as comfortable and inviting as possible for their guest! The gardens are absolutely beautiful! The apartment is pristine and super nice!! Such a beautiful place all around! Enjoyed our stay very much!! Loved the homemade bread! Delicious! We recommend staying here one hundred percent!!

Vicki has something truly special here. The Robin Song studio offered anything and everything you could need, including the most beautiful sounds of nature’s choir as you sit and enjoy the sweeping ocean and mountain views. Bring your binoculars and open up your Merlin app for a simple and healing experience. The pictures are stunning, but nothing will prepare you for seeing it in real life. It’s almost difficult to want to leave and explore the island! Vicki was incredibly communicative and went out of her way to ensure we found the spot. I would be thrilled to stay again, Vicki is the best host I’ve had in my years on Airbnb. We can’t thank you enough!

We just had a wonderful long weekend here! The home was small, as advertised, but there was more than enough room for the 2 of us. We did not feel cramped at all!! The space was beautiful, clean and extremely comfortable. We rode our bikes everywhere and found the location to be great! Getting into Victoria by bike was on safe and easy to find bike paths. We especially appreciated the free bike valet downtown Christine told us about! I also loved being able to walk to a grocery store and to the park for sunset. We would 100% stay here again.

Peggys was such a wonderful host and a great communicator. The studio was very clem and the location was spot on. It was very close to everything especially the ferry harbor, which was super convenient for us since island hopped everyday. Would recommend and definitely would stay again.

A wonderful, fanciful beach cottage, but in the wods, miles from a beach. If you want a quiet place to stay and maybe write or think or look at tree and flowers, thias is it. It's 1/2 mile from the hiighway, and about 10 minutes of open road to all sorts of mall shopping. I could easily picture a week here, not running off to tourist activity, but to hang out and enjoy quiet time.

This airbnb was in a great location and near many of Seattle’s attractions! We really enjoyed being able to easily walk to the Space Needle and nearby restaurants. The condo was also super cozy and clean! The air conditioner and fans did a great job of blocking out the city noises. The condo required a code to get inside, so it felt very secure. We would definitely stay here again!

Was exactly as described. Great location close to ferry. Walkable to town. Great views from the back porch.

Stayed for a week in May 2025. Great location, walking distance to inner harbour, miniature world, Chinatown, and great restaurants close by. Perfect for two couples. Outdoor bar across the street gave us some good people watching from the balcony. Used the hot tub and the condo robes were appreciated! Coffee, tea and some kitchen spices were helpful. Condo safety and parking were excellent.

The Inn on the Harbor was a perfect weekend getaway spot. Super clean and comfortable with great water views. Check in was made really easy and Tracey gave great directions ahead of time. Downtown Blaine is very walkable from this spot. We will be back!

Really lovely stay at Rachel's place. Best parts for me was the location (easy walks to all the Winslow has to offer and on/off the ferry to head to the city. The other good parts were the bed (comfy) and the landscaping around the space - very well done. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! Super clean, easy access to downtown Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!

Loved our time here. The unit is actually even nicer than you can tell from the pictures. Comfortable and colorful aesthetic and beautiful, roomy accommodations with high ceilings and heated floors. Loved the two sided fireplace.

We had a great weeklong stay at Sunset condo. It was so comfortable and spacious. The view was great and true to the name… the sunsets were awesome. The hosts have really thought of everything to make their guests stay easy. All the thoughtful touches were really appreciated. The full size kitchen has everything you need, the bathrooms are well stocked and the beds and bedding are super comfortable. We really enjoyed walking in the Madrona beach neighborhood and on the public beach which is just a few steps away. This is a relaxing getaway spot. We highly recommend Maryln’s place!
